Does “faul” Refer to Laziness or Procrastination?@ladybug but Tom's question is whether "faul" has a "verschieben" meaning that is not connected to laziness, like when a very busy person postpones something to tomorrow. To which the answer is "no". Do you not agree?

Are German words starting with the letter 'p' really of foreign origin?@Alain ah, of course! (I didn't think of that - I somehow pictured you in the actual Bundeswehr as a frenchman and was baffled:) I grew up near Tübingen, I vividly remember being scared of the tanks standing in the Hechinger Eck base when I started going to school in '86. Such a long time ago, my goodness! Villingen-Schwenningen is a really nice area, yeah.

Do the noun 'Reich' and the adjective 'reich' have a common origin?@Takkat still, I don't see the connection. There are contexts where "mächtig" is very close to "reich" - like in your example, or when saying "dieses Programm hat eine mächtige Suchfunktion", which usually means it is very feature-rich - but you can't substitute one word for the other 1:1.
